toward the right in Fig. 3, the detent tooth will escape from its en a ement of the upper section 10 of the saig't and as a consequence, the lower section of the shaft together with the coupling 11 may drop. The means for automatically causing the disengagement of the two sections of the shaft will be later stated.

The frame 3 extends upward around the shaft as at 17 and inserted in this upward projecting boss or seat 17 is a tubular member 18 which at its lower end is screwthreaded in the seat or portion 17. The shaft section 10 extends upward entirely through this tubular member. The tubular member is slotted as at 19 'and passing lthroughthe shaft and through this slot is a transversely extending pin 20. It'will'be seen that'the shaft may therefore rise or fall within av predetermined distance with rela v ltion to the tubular member 18 but that the shaft will'be prevented from any rotation.

' Surrounding the lower portion of the tubular member and rotatablyv supported upon the seat 17 is a head 21 having a downwardly extending portion 22 forming a sleeve loosely surrounding the'tubular member or sleeve 18. A spring 23 surrounds the tube 18 and bears at its upper end against a collar 24 which in turn bears against the -pin 20. This collar as illustrated in Fig. 4

on its upper face is formed with an annulailange and the pin 20 is seated within this` Han so that the flange retains the pin from any ateral displacement. The lower end of the spring 23 bears against a cone 25 which in turn bears against a series of anti-friction balls; 26 supported in a seat 27 formed upon thepupper face of the head 21. The head 21'inay therefore have free rotation around the. tubular member 18 and isheld downwardlupon the seat 17 by the spring 23.

Surrounding the downward extension 22A of the head 21 but mounted for rotation therewith is a bevel gear wheel 28 which y meshes with the bevel gear wheel 8 under normal circumstances.

The gear wheel 28 has rotation with the head 21 but is free to move vertically with relation to the head 21- and upon theextension 22. To this end the 22. In order to provide for a movement of' the head 21 and extension 22 relative to the gea-r wheel 28 without disconnecting the gear wheels 28 and 8, l dispose between the underside of the head 21 and the upper face of the gear wheel 28 the coil sprin 29. During a predetermined movement o the head 21 and itsv extension 22 this spring will keep the gears in mesh but beyond the limits of this predetermined upward movement-the gear wheel 28 will move with the head 21 and will be raised from its engagement with the gear wheel 8 so as Ato, disconnect these gear wheels, as willhereaiter more clearly .insecto end of the tube 18 is a head 31 which is op-A posed to the head 21. This head has a down- -wa'rd extension 32 which loosely surrounds Etheupper end of the tube 18 'and through 'this head the uppersection 10 of the shaftpassies;t The `head has an upwardfannular v'extension' 33 which is exteriorly screwthreaded and engaging this extension is an annular cap 34- formed with a seat 35 for an anti-friction ball 36. Carried upon the upper end of the shaft'lOyis aycollar 37 `which is concaved upon its upper face to provide a seat for the ball 36. It will be thus seen that the'cap 34 may rotate with the head 31. The cap 34 is adjustable upon the head 31 and with relation to the rod 10 and `when the cap is screwed downward,V it will be obvious, that the rod 10 will be forced downward and that this will dosethe regulating valve to a greater extent than when the cap is adjusted upward. T he cap is held in its adjusted position by means of a set screw 38. i j

f The governor balls 39 are mounted upon flat springs 40, the upper and lower ends of which are connected in any siitablemanner, respectivelyQto the heads 31 -and l21;.'l Preferably, l provide. three spring strips40 for each of the balls. 4There may be three or four ribbon springs 470.'to each-*ball and, of course, I am not limited to4 this" construction. The weight of the balls is carried by these springs 40 and each ball has a guide 41 ormedwithit which extendsto'and around the-*stationary hollow standard or post 18 or tubular member, previously'referred to. These guides prevent the springs gfrom wabblingv when the revolving motion of the ballsv is suddenly increased or decreased and these guides also act vtoA limit the outward movement of the balls.

The mechanism for shifting and adjusting the head 21 and thus raising or lowerin the valve rod 10 comprises acollar 12 whic loosely surrounds the upwardly projecting seat or boss 17 and has rotation with relation thereto. T he lower end 'of the extension 22v is peripherally grooved, as at 43, and the collar 42 basan upwardly projecting finger 44 having an inwardly extending tooth which engages in this groove 43. 1t will thus be seen that any upward movement of the collar 42 will cause an upward movement of the head 21 and that, when the finger 44 which is formed as -part of the collar engages with the underside'o the gear 28 the gear 28 will also he raised. The

collar l2 is diagonally slotted, asat e5, and at the base of this slotis formed a notch 458. Projecting radially from the seat ll is a in i6 which rides in the aloe Llvand Whic when ehe collar is fully raised engages in the notch 453. This pin ffl@ is provided with a roller which rides in the slot 4.5. A not l? larger than the slot engages over the pin. Non', il the collar ll2 be ro tatecl in one direction, it will be obvious, that the Wells of the slot will rifle upon the pin and the collar vvill be moved upward with relation to the pin and that when rho collar is rotated in ehe opposite direction the collar will be drawn downward. For the urpose oi easily rotating this collar and olding it in its rotatably adjusted position,

l provide a screw pin i8 or sel', screw which passes through the collar and which when screwed in, 1s adapted to engage with the lace oi the ortion 17. This pin may have on il; any suitable handle whereby the collar may he rotated by hand, but preferably and as illustrated, l provide a handle 49 which is ol considerable lenglh and which has a exible or universal joint at 50 with the pin 48. The handle is provided at its extremity with a hand wheel l wherebyitmay-be rotated. inasmuch as the joint at 5G is universal or llexible it is possible to extend this handle in almost any direction and yet secure a proper movement of the collar and a proper adjustment of the ser screw 48. This makes it extremely convenient `for the engineer. By ushing u on this handle t9 in one directlon the co lar will be rotated to cause its elevation and the consequent elevation of the head 2l. This through the action of the spring will cause an elevation of the rocl and the consequent increased opening of the regulating valve to which the valve rod sections 9 and l() are connected. By drawing upon the rod 49 the collar may be reverseljv turned which will cause the lowering of the head 2l and the consequent lowering of he valve rod sections and the closing of the valve. Thus, any desired speed may be easily secured and inasmuch as the valve rod sections 9 and lO'lnove together with the heads 2l and 3l, it will be obvious, that the governor will operate in the saine manner or all speed adjustments. ln other Words, after the opening of the valve has been regnlated the governor will operate no control this valve in the usual manner and hold it ints adiusted position. lf the collar -l2 be rotated in one direction to its full extent it will not only lift the head 2l and the valve rod, but it will completely disconnect the gear 28 from the gear 8 and will holdthe valve in its fully open position. Under theee circuxnsances, of course, the shall: will rotate without, in anyv manner retelling head 2l.

Mounted ehe brochet. l is a shalt 52, one end or which is cranked as at 53 and supported nnen this cranked end is an idler pulley 5e which is a hell tightening pulley to the extent lhat it rests upon the loeltJ 7 and is supported thereby. li' the belt 7 should break the idler pulley will drop and the shaft 52 he rotate-cl. l the belt breaks il is necessary that steam be immediately shui; offend to this eneh'this shaft 52 is operatively connected to the latch I2 to cause a retraction of the latch and a disengagexnent of the rod section 9 from the rod section l0 upon a dropping of the idler pulley 5l. "lo` this end l mount upon the shaft 52 the small Winding drum, 55 as shown most clearly in Fig. 3, and attached to this winding drum and to the bent end 13 of the latch 12 is a chain 56. Now when the pulley 5l drops by the breaking of the belt' the drum 55 will be'turned in the direction of the arrow 53 which will wind np the chain and Withdraw the detent tooth 'il `from. its engagement with the notch l5.

Only a very slight movement of the device is required. es soon as this occurs the coupling 11,/tl'1e shaft 9 and the lotching device will drop, shutting oli' the regulating valve.

ln many cases, as for instance where the traction engine is traveling upon a road, it is necessary to provide means for not only disconnecting the governor upon the driving shaft, but for preventing the dropping of the idler -l when the belt 7 breaks, and thus prevent the steam from being shut-olf in case the belt-breaks. For this purpose, l

rovide u )on the shaft 52 a hook 57 which is ada tecl to engage over the pin 48 when the colar 42 is fully raised and resting in the notch 45, that is when the parte are in the position shown in Fig. 2`

'lhc operation of lny invention will be ohvions by what has gone before. Under normal circumstances the shaft 5 is driven by means of' he heit T and motion is comlnunicated to the head 2l throngh the gears S and 28, and this in turn cannes rotation of the balls 39 and of the head lil. lf it is desired to increase the speed of the engine without changing the belt l', the collar l2 is shifted to any extent required. rl`his will raise the valve rod suiciently to open the regulating valve to a degree commensurate with the deared speed o1? the engine. lf the speed of the engine increases beyond this point, the governor balls will liy outward and the valve rod will move downward against the force of the spring rl`he spring 29 under these circumstances will keep the gears S and 28 constantly meshed. ll" it desired to entirelyY disconnecl the governor from the shaft 5 and hold the hrottle valve wille open the sleeve 42 is turned suiiicicntlv around to canse it to be iifled to its extreme onward poeiion upon pin e6 and under loo lli)

these circumstances the gears v528 and 8 will be entirely disconnected. @When thesleeve 42 is liftedv to its extreme upward position and the pinf restsv within the notch 45, then the hook 57 will engage with'the pin 48 if the belt 7 breaks. If thel belt tighten.

ing pulley is used andthe belt breaks', it is obvious that, immediately the lower section of the valve rod will be released from its engagement with the upper section and the valve rod will drop, thus closing the governor valve and stopping the engine.

The advantages of my invention are as follows: The governor can almost instantly he adjusted for any desired s eed or by shifting the collar 42 still fart er around the seat 1T, the governor may be thrown out of service, which thus takes all unnecessary wear andvstrain oli the governor. This is particularly necessary when traveling on the road. When the governor is thrown out of service it is obvious that a full boiler pressure is at the engineers hand. This is particularly convenient in traction engines as it not only takes steam from the governor but it permits the engine to run at a good speed. In the ordinary traction engine it is necessary to remove the belt 7 in order to disconnect the governor and this is a considerable trouble and this necessity ofcontinually taking 'olf and putting on the belt in order to "et the desired speed out of the engine for all inds of work is one'of the great nuisances incident to traction engines as ordinarily constructed. With the ordinary governor, if the traction engine is running upony a road with the belt left on. suflicient'speed cannot be secured to malte good time on the road. Further than this. there willbe constant langer of accident because, ifywhen on a hill. the belt 7 should breuk, it wouldallow the regulating valve to drop and close and it would practically be impossible to hold the traction engine under these circumstances.

. In case the belt should break with' my improved governor while on' the road, the hook .37 would catch upon the pin 48 and would hold the pulley fromvdropping down and thus will prevent the steam from being 4shut oil'l in case the belt breaks. therod 49 end universaljoint '50 the collar 4Q may be shifted from aisnost lany direction. This Ais particularly necessary for traction engines. but is not necessary for stationary engines. as in this case 'a small'handle may he used in place of the relatively long -handie connected b v the universal jointfiB.

.. ering governor. The governor can be edf" lt' will be seen that any desired belt pulley 6 may be used in connection with this governor without in any way affecting the operation of the governor itself. lt will also be seen that l have very much simplified the lL ifovernor ordinarily used. such as the Piel:-

By providing justed to any desired speed of the engine while the engine is in motion and can be thrown in and out of gear while the engineJ is running without injury to the engine orV to the governor. When the engine is running if the bevel gear wheels are thrown'into meshy the teeth will not strip because the stationary work to road traveling. It is usually necessary to so remove the governor belt because the speed of the engine, VWhen it is stationary and used for operating inachinery is not sullicient to let the engine travel fast enou h to lmake proper time on a -good road. Un er these ciroums'ta'ncesit is customary to remove lthe belt and'thus leave the governor'` idle. V'.lhijs is "entirely obviated by my improvement, whichlwill prevent yd'isi connection between vthe governor Iand its y,

driving means and thns permitsa fhll boiler' pressure'being used toroad running.` l v It is reiterated that, wheni the collar 421s lowered and the gears 28 and 8 are 1n mesh,

iso

then, if the belt 17 breaks, the hook`57 cannot engage with the pin 48.` It is only wleii the gears 28 and 8 are out of mesh, as in Fig., 2, and the belt breaks that the hook will engage the pin 48, in the manner shown in rig. 5. This will prevent the cuainggge of the steam. Y N The belt tightening and the means for automatically closing the steam valve u on g breakage of the belt are reversible so t at,

when it is necessary to run the beltin the opposite direction, the lugsu'pon which the shaft 52 is pivotally su ported are east upon opposite sides of the y latching .arrangement and winding drinn racket 4 sol `that the;V
